MEDICAL INSURANCE
HMO Medical Plan
With the Anthem Blue Cross Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, you must choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) or
medical group within the “Select” network. All of your care must be directed through your PCP or medical group. Any specialty care
you need will be coordinated through your PCP and will generally require a referral or authorization. You will receive benefits only
if you use the doctors, clinics and hospitals that belong to the medical group in which you are enrolled, except in the case of an
emergency.
PPO Medical Plan
With the Anthem Blue Cross Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan, you have the freedom to choose your doctor without
using a Primary Care Physician (PCP) and you may self-refer to specialists. You may use a PPO provider whose negotiated rates
provide richer levels of benefits with claim forms filed by the providers. You may also obtain services using a non-network provider;
however, you will be responsible for the difference between the covered amount and the actual charges and you may be
responsible for filing claims.
